Aug 6, 2026, 5:13 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The report highlights meaningful balance-sheet improvements (cash generation, debt retirement) and new liquidity from securitization, plus a credible growth restart plan in CRE and SBA 7(a). If these trends persist and Q4 maturities are navigated, RC could re-rate higher on NAV stabilization and improved funding dynamics.
